Vision Sunday is here—Reach 269 is our faith in motion to reach every person, every home, every story in our area code with the Gospel. (James 2) We’re celebrating what God has done and preparing for what He’s about to do.

This year we’ve witnessed 1,412 salvations and 241 baptisms—lives changed, families restored, people set free.

What is Reach 269?

A four-part vision to extend the reach, change lives, and expand the Kingdom:
• Campus One — upgrade spaces, tech, and environments across Battle Creek, Fulton, and St. Joe so every Sunday experience is welcoming and life-giving.
• Digital Reach — invest in livestream and broadcast so our “new front door” clearly shares the Gospel before guests ever visit in person.
• Serve Our City — strategic partnerships and high-impact community projects that move beyond bark and paint to lasting transformation.
• Positioned for More — aggressively pay down debt (Hope House is paid off!) to accelerate ministry and future expansion.

Why vision? “Where there is no vision, people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18) Vision keeps us moving toward the end we know is coming—Jesus is returning—and that changes how we live today.

James teaches that faith without works is dead. Reach 269 is our faith taking action—preparing for the harvest by plowing, planting, and trusting God to move.
